The FAA has ordered a national ground stop for all US departures, effective at 20:53 UTC, per Reuters and PBS reports. The advisory, labeled 111, holds all outbound flights while managing inbound international cases individually.

Louisville International Airport expects delays due to the ground stop, as reported by WLKY. The cause is attributed to air traffic control communications outages, or 'frequency issues,' as noted by the FAA. No signs of a malicious attack.

Flight N6209X is currently climbing out of Louisville at 4,375 ft, heading south, while several other aircraft are in various stages of departure or approach. The national disruption has impacted all major hubs including SFO, and the ground stop remains in effect according to latest updates.
